Abstract
The present invention provides a visual asset management system for optimizing inspection and allocation of capital renewal (repair/rehabilitation/replacement) resources among a plurality of assets wherein each asset has a different life cycle. Inspection is enabled by an inspection device that enables a user to access an inspection template for conducting an inspection of assets. The user can provide inspection data via the inspection device, including by providing images of particular assets to represent their life cycle performances. An optimization engine conducts a two stage optimization on the inspection data, first by optimizing inspection and allocation of renewal resources on an asset by asset basis, and then by optimizing inspection and allocation of renewal resources among all assets or a sub-set of the assets.
Claims (19)
1. A visual asset management system for optimizing inspection and allocation of capital renewal resources among a plurality of assets, at least two of the assets having different life cycles, the visual asset management system characterized by:
an inspection device linkable to an asset management database operable to store a life cycle performance for each of the plurality of assets, the inspection device comprising:
an inspection software utility that enables a user of the inspection device to (a) access an inspection template for conducting an inspection of the plurality of assets, and (b) collect and/or generate inspection data associated with a life cycle performance of the plurality of assets, the inspection data including one or more images representative of the life cycle performance of particular assets;
wherein the inspection device links or facilitates linking the inspection data with the corresponding asset in the asset management database so as to enable the analysis of the inspection data, including for allocation of renewal resources among the plurality of assets, or a sub-set of such assets.
an inspection device linkable to an asset management database operable to store a life cycle performance for each of the plurality of assets, the inspection device comprising:
an inspection software utility that enables a user of the inspection device to (a) access an inspection template for conducting an inspection of the plurality of assets, and (b) collect and/or generate inspection data associated with a life cycle performance of the plurality of assets, the inspection data including one or more images representative of the life cycle performance of particular assets;
wherein the inspection device links or facilitates linking the inspection data with the corresponding asset in the asset management database so as to enable the analysis of the inspection data, including for allocation of renewal resources among the plurality of assets, or a sub-set of such assets.
2. The visual asset management system of claim 1, characterized in that the inspection device is a handheld computing device.
3. The visual asset management system of claim 1, characterized in that the inspection data comprises a performance and/or condition category for the asset.
